I'm having a blast listening to the livestream of the Woody Guthrie Folk Festival. It has been glorious so far so I'll be posting a few updates along the way of the shows I most enjoy (in between working! No complaints though as I'm happy I'm still getting to listen)

The first block I heard was a delightful deep dive into the Woody Guthrie archives (led by his granddaughter Anna Canoni + Joel Rafael) which gave me an even deeper awareness of Woody as not only a folk artist, but also as visual artist, notebook creator, a father, and a spiritual thinker.

The second block (which is going on right now) is a group of musicians singing some of their favorite songs by other folks. Right now #CrysMatthews is singing as we speak!

Cancel Culture

#CrysMatthews

There's a whole lot in our culture I'd cancel if I could.
Instead of banning books, I'd ban gerrymandering for good.
The rich would feed the poor like the good Lord said they should.
And every child (without exception) would feel loved and understood.
No more whitewashing our history, when the truth will set us free.
No more watching corporate profits soar while people sink into poverty.
No more telling kids they're flawed because you think that your god would.
Yeah, there's a whole lot in our culture I'd cancel if I could.
